    Title: Fried Oysters Wrapped in Bacon
    Categories: Seafood, Appetisers, Pork
    Yield: 12 Servings

    12 lg Fresh, shucked oysters
    1/4 c Oyster liquor
    1 Bay leaf
    1 ts Worcestershire sauce
    4 sl (1/2 oz. ea) streaky bacon
    1/2 c Unbleached white flour
    2 lg Eggs; beaten
    1 c Bread crumbs
    2 c Oil (for frying)
    12 Toothpicks

    In a 1 quart saucepan, on a medium flame, poach oysters
    in oyster liquor with bay leaf and Worcestershire (about
    2 minutes, until the edges of the oysters curl).

    Remove oysters from liquor and set aside. Discard liquor.

    Cut bacon strips in thirds. Wrap each oyster with bacon
    and fasten with a toothpick. Roll in flour, dip in eggs,
    and then roll in bread crumbs.

    Heat oil in a 9" skillet. When oil smokes, reduce heat
    and fry oysters for 5 minutes.

    Drain on paper bag and serve immediately.

    Yields 12 oysters.

    Thanks! It's fun to get feedback.

    Tomorrow i plan to cook another batch of red beans & rice in the crockpot
    using your recipe.

    Due to dental work i've been making pudding, smoothies, and soup lately.
    Split pea soup, lentil soup, etc. I'll let the red beans & rice cook
    long so they get nice and soft.

    I'm not much into crunchy beans. Sorta jarring when you encounter one.
    Which is why I generally sort/pick over my beans so as to not try and
    cook pebbles to softness. Bv)=

    Title: Dave's Chilli Beans
    Categories: Beans, Chilies
    Yield: 4 Servings

    2 c Dried pinto beans
    1 ts Oil or bacon dripping
    1 md Onion; chopped
    3 cl Garlic; mashed
    8 oz Can tomato puree or paste
    2 ts Ground cumin
    1 tb Chilli spice *
    Salt & pepper
    1 md Bell pepper; cored, diced
    1 Dried red chile; ground
    Water; as needed

    * Mexene, Baron's, Ray's, etc.

    Soak beans overnight, if desired. Then drain and add
    fresh water. Boil the beans hard for 10 to 15 minutes
    to kick start the conversion of the starches. Reduce
    the heat to a nice four bubble simmer and cover the
    pot. Cook until tender but not mushy.

    Saute onion and garlic in oil. Add tomato, chilli
    spice, salt & pepper, parsley and ground red pepper
    with a little water.

    Boil for 10-15 minutes. Add to beans and add the cumin
    at this time, cook for 25 minutes or longer.

    Are you pulling my legume? :P I never eat crunchy beans. Sometimes i
    cook them more to the chewy end of the spectrum, but today i intend to
    cook them "melt in your mouth" soft, and mash half of them up against
    the side of the pot.

    I do generally sort/pick through them too. I've found rocks and dirt
    clods, which would be bad for mastication.
